Sha Sha Higby is creativity unleashed! She makes elaborate, wildly imaginative costumes and is invited all over the world to do her haunting one-woman performances in these astonishing wearable sculptures. Her work seems to move between some ancient royal treasure and a futuristic fantasy. A long time Bolinas resident, Sha Sha is internationally known both as a perofrmer and a teacher. Her work calls upon her world travels and influences from years of studying techniques of copper work, classic Japanses lacquer, delicate Javanese leather cut work, elegant textiles and more. She has been the recipient of countless awards, scholarships, and national and international exhibtions.
